Because “raising the debt ceiling” is LITERALLY the term used for allocating money in the national budget specifically to be spent on LOWERING THE NATIONAL DEBT. I hate Trump too, but this post is so fucking stupid and misleading. If we don’t raise the debt ceiling, we are basically saying that we plan on defaulting on our international loans, which would be catastrophic to our economic future, and our standing with half the planet that we ow me money to.

3 小時內	Mike Rieux mikerieux	and, apparently, addressing the expected upcoming tax cuts for the wealthy and the corporations, which will greatly contribute to the debt as tax revenues fall has nothing to do with it...is that it? you DO know trump wanted the debt ceiling done away with, don't you? he just didn't get his way, and then didn't get it to happen during Biden's term, either your scenario and trump's are of two different natures, regardless of outcome and...the ceiling will be addressed in 2025...like it should
4 小時內	Martin Allen martinallen393	You’re correct about the need to continue raising the debt ceiling so as not to default on our commitments, but Trump was looking for a suspension of debt ceiling restrictions until 2029, which he could blame on Biden
5 小時內	Alex Lichty 4yearstoolong	The issue is he was fine not allowing the ceiling to be raised by Biden, only now he wants it raised. Want to reduce debt? Tax the wealthy at the same level as the rest of us and force corporations to pay their share as well. Boom, debt is halved.

As of Dec. 31, 2020, the national debt had jumped to $27.75 trillion, up 39% from $19.95 trillion when Trump was sworn in. The government ended its 2020 fiscal year with the portion of the national debt owed to investors, the metric favored by the CBO, at around 100% of GDP.

6 小時內	bamblefick	Trump literally set a booby trap that was Afghanistan and then blamed how bad the pullout went despite Trump being the one who released 5000 terrorists and overstayed our time there by another 4 years. Wild to assume he isn’t doing this specifically so he can’t point to it in 4 years and say look at such a terrible job Biden did.
